Log Jammer is actually a great log flume... nice and fast and you actually float in water instead of jetstreams skid on plastic.

Swung by the park today... DAMN what nice weather! I wish I could have stayed longer. Anyways, it looks like Goliath still has problems with cars getting stuck on the lift hill. They have made the reboot process go from 20-30mins to about 3mins in a few months which is nice. They removed the audio car from Terminator... I couldn't see if that was already posted or not so there you go. Finally, as others have said, "Colossus is super smooth." End of Line.

Oh man its here!!!! See you all this morning! i'll be the panda with the blonde midget!

I can already see it now like a Weird Al music Video... "Just Eat It, eat it , eat it.... Just Eat it, eat it, eat it...."

Anyone know why they went with TOGO? Did TOGO in the U.S. ever have a decent reputation?

Disney is a huge company with nearly as much influence. When you churn as much butter as they do... local governements and policy makers get greased so the wheels keep spinning.

I only saw them use the Right side today. 1PM the ride was working and had a few moments of down time but more so from the car failing to dock properly in the station. it was around 2:15-2:30 that they were lubbing up the center track.

Anyone know if Superman had a serious problem today? I went on it a few times today but they shut it down and a maintainence man started lubing the center track piece. She was making a loud screeching noise today which I don't remember from last week but could be normal. As I left the park they started sending out test cars and then it looked like it didn't launch at full speed or the center piece caused the car to slow down on the return. No reason to blow this out of proportion if the Superman was running after 3:00PM. Just curious if anyone knows what happened.

How were the crowds today?

I think you should be fine... it says winds up to 12mph.

I've always had bad luck that route and simply avoid it but yes you could go that route.

I live in the same area and it isn't much of a drive. There isn't any traffic on the weekend if you take the 55, 405 605, to the 5. You can get there in 59minutes. The drive back will hurt though ha ha ha ha... Good luck.

We are going back this weekend to hopefully get another ride on that new beast! Also, I finally picked up WCB tickets!

Yes, robb posted a video on his youtube page not too long ago!

I didn't notice anything new about the station except you can see the back stop and its now covered. Still a green room before you enter with the older dots still on the ground. We got stuck on Goliath's lift hill for about 20 mins... was sad since we were the only 2 people on the train and when we came back the station was full. ha ha ha So much for getting into the park early!

2 foundations for Green Latern have been poured and Colossus re-opens on the 19th with new lift motors. I didn't check up on Road Runner. I should start taking pictures... will do next week.

Intamin should make one of their inverts with a SLC layout. They could probably pull it off better than B&M could due to train sizes.

Yeah sorry for that short statement I was in the park and posted it for anyone who might be waiting to see if it opened up. We got to ride twice and it was Amazing!! You don't feel like your going 100MPH until you are falling back to earth face forward. I have never had the pleasure of riding an Intamin with this style of restraints but I wish more coasters with OSTR's used them. They were super comfy. This is a much more intense ride.

Just rode Superman.

Oh man I wish I could have made it up there this weekend! I forgot yesterday was the 500 and today are a bunch of errands. I'll shoot for next sunday.

I'll be there Sunday. Wish me Luck! P.s. Don't forget your discover card!

I've used it about 5 times so far... They have never scanned it. I doubt they look hard enough to check the dates. It is a very nice perk and i'm glad Discover took advantage of it + you can get 5% off anywhere in the park if you pay with your Discover.

It looks like a lot of Maintainence and Service buildings back there... idk if it would be economical to move them? Perhaps moving the parking lot would be better but that might ruin their maitenance routes. Ideally I would like to see all that move but... that is costly. Would be nice to see them purge themselves of some stuff and fill the voids with some quality. Looks like they are moving in the right direction though. We will see.

I don't know how it would go with kids saying to their parents... "Come on!!! I really want to give Wonder Woman a Ride!!!" or "Wonder Woman was a sure nice ride" "Look at the hills on Wonder Woman... Must be a hard ride" lol
